Oh, man! I've got to see this! Chainsaw swords? Christopher Lambert with horrible-looking bleached blond hair? And smokin' hot Rhona Mitra doing what she does best (i.e., being smokin' hot)? I can't believe this isn't already in my D.V.D. collection!

Saw this a while back. About the only thing I actually noticed was that the captain of the guards dude was in love with the cleavage chick, and she couldn't care less. The guy, and her father, both get killed and then two minutes later she's chuckling about all the sex she's gonna be having with bleached blond guy. Yeah...

Other than that, just about as dull an excuse as I've ever seen for a monster movie.

Well, let's say Christopher Lambert has done even worse movies. But this a decent movie? Not in my book, at least.

I think if Christopher Lambert ever made a "decent" film, the universe would collapse

Heh heh heh.

Huh, I rather liked this. Hot chickie didn't hurt. And I have a thing for outlandish weapons (just saw an article on SA about overkill modifications for weapons- a guy actually attached a chainsaw to an AR-15).

They take old legends and they jazz it up with new age poppycock whats on their minds besides LSD halucinations?

L.S.D. hallucinations make for the best effin' moves, dontcha know?

Back flips are an important close combat techniqueBorder outposts are based on oil rig architectureVision slits in helmets are optionalCastles have a PA system, and doors that go 'woosh', just like the original USS Enterprise

When I was a little kid (AKA when this movie came out) I was completely restriceted to Disney drivle that almost rivals the horror they put on now. This movie was a glorious breath of fresh air that was tapped on the worst television ever (giving the horrible special effects an even worse light) and carefully hidden away for days when that damn mouse came on again.

Now that I'm older though . . . GOD DANG THIS MOVIE SUCKED! The CGI is aweful, the characters were laughable, and the story line is so confusing it almost causes me physical pain to watch.

Point: when I was little and the best movie I'd ever seen was flippin' Power Rangers, this movie ruled. Now that it is far easier to get my hands on gory horror movies . . . I think a pices of my soul just withered and died.
